44 Intuition: Surveys and Interviews Through the use of today’s technology and interaction, an online survey shared on social media platforms has reached out to diverse individuals with various WFH experiences during the pandemic. Commencing with consent agreement to participate (see Appendices A), and a screening question asking if individuals work from home or not, this accumulation has requested both closed and open-ended inquiries. Each question was conceived to gain a well-rounded understanding of how the broad population currently exposes its concern to the perpetual state of feeling captive at home for work and life. Similar to the surveys, interview participants were first asked to read and sign the involvement consent form (see Appendices C) before the interview performance. Subsequently, virtual interviews were performed and delivered a well-rounded source of quantitative and qualitative information about the new traditional measures that individuals, along with their significant other and family members, experience with these stay-athome circumstances. Longing for a post-pandemic adaptation, the survey (via SurveyMonkey) (see Appendix B) was active from April 12 to the 19th, 2021 and the interviews (performed via Zoom) (see Appendix D) occurred between April 15th and 20th, 2021 and lasted between 30 to 40 minutes each. Correspondingly these outcomes will deliver a basis of where individuals are currently situated with the steady-state of living and working within the same four walls. These contributions will give itemized information about the needs, thoughts, experienced emotions, and future preferences anticipated. Five interviews with varied professionals of the millennial age group with various experiences with remote work will contribute and offer a specific consideration of how individuals have adapted and continue to strive in their workforce and home life. Beyond the shreds of evidence discovered in the literature report, these interactions authorize an opportunity to observe the non-verbal reactions that each inquiry may represent.
